Shuzhong? It's Shuzhong again!

Qin Hanzhen can't remember how many times he heard the word "Shu". King Ninghua's conspiracy seems to be always mixed with Shudi. Don't look at the Shu King's family now being confined in the Zongren Mansion, but this sense of existence is still leveraged. Qin Hanzhen can also understand that he used to be a vassal king with infinite scenery, but now he has been reduced to a prisoner, and the family of the King of Shu must be unwilling, and it is normal for people to want to escape with the power of King Ninghua. But his family is too tormented, why are they everywhere?!

She spat to Zhao Mo: "Are they the people of the King of Shu again? Why don't they want to stop? If they weren't always thinking about jumping up and down, they wouldn't have ended up today." Until now, they still refuse to learn a lesson, and they want to make trouble, do they really want to force the emperor to endure it and take the lives of their family, so they will be honest?!"

After vomiting, she asked again: "This caravan is the people of the King of Shu? It seems that the Shu Wangfu was raided at the beginning, and this caravan was not liquidated, but it was the manpower hidden by the King of Shu?" After thinking about it, "What about the manpower of the King of Ninghua? Does it have anything to do with the Shu Wangfu? Could they actually be the people of the Shu Wangfu?"

Zhao Mo was a little surprised: "Why did my cousin say that?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "Because there are too many people, and as you said, they are all young and strong, and they are also good." You have been in Suning for a few years, and if you want to form a royal guard, you can only find one or two hundred people. King Ninghua is the king of the county like you, even if the fief is larger than yours, it is not a rich and prosperous place, and he has not been in the domain for a long time, how many young people can he find available? It is more difficult to be capable, but also loyal and reliable. If he had lowered his demands, he might have been able to find a few hundred men, but two or three thousand men? That would already be an army. It's not that I underestimate him, he doesn't seem to have such great ability. Besides, so many people disappeared from his fiefdom, and there was a rumor that it had already been heard. There are often caravans coming and going in Fujian, and your caravans often go to sell tea, so it's impossible not to hear about it. It can be seen that this is not something that King Ninghua can get. ”

But the king of Shu is different, Shu is not only large, but also notoriously rich and has a large population. Before the king of Shu lost power, he was calling for wind and rain in the fiefdom, and he said the same. He wants to raise a private army, and under the guise of the royal guards, who can say that he is not?

And Qin Han really remembered that there was indeed a team of disgraceful dead soldiers under the King of Shu, and the assassination of the prince in Jinling back then was not done by these people? Those people did not escape back then, but it was impossible for the King of Shu to send all the dead soldiers out at one time, right?

After hearing this, Zhao Mo smiled and said, "My cousin is careful, and I have long suspected it." Moreover, the people below went to monitor the Zhuangzi on the border between Suning County and Gaoyang County, saying that the steward of the village was a Jindi accent, and the little servants under him were Fujian accents, but those who lived in the village seemed to have a Shu accent, and the food they ate was spicy, so the chef in the village had to make a special trip to Baoding City to buy Qin pepper and go back to cook. It can be seen that even if not all the people under King Ninghua are the hands of the King of Shu, at least a large part of them are from Shu. ”

In the past, when the king of Shu was imprisoned, he entered the Zongren Mansion with his young son. However, the prince of Shu was far away in Shu, and compared with his father and brothers, he went to Beijing a long time later, and he did not resist much, and seemed to cooperate with the officials who went to arrest him very calmly, and handed over the manpower and property of the palace. But it also meant that he had enough time to hide some people or things before he was caught, and not be known to the court. If it is said that the prince of Shu has concealed that he still has a group of people hidden in the secret to wait for the opportunity, it is not impossible. Moreover, these people are still not visible, and they are handed over to King Ninghua, so King Ninghua needs to make a fake household registration for them, otherwise there is no way to explain where these people came from, let alone be placed in the personal guards of the Suning Palace.

Qin Hanzhen took out a pen and paper, wrote down the bad things that King Ninghua did, and the parts that appeared in the Shu Wangfu, and then counted them one by one, and found that the sense of existence of the Shu Wangfu was a little unusual.

In the hands of the people from several parties co-opted by King Ninghua, the usefulness of his brother-in-law Zhao Jie should be on the housekeeper and the concubine Hui in the palace; the usefulness of Zhao Shuo, the son of the Liao king, is mostly on his son Zhao Mo; the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is the southwestern border army that has been transferred to Shu and the military power of the capital that may be obtained; Yun Shuai is the military power of the camp in the western part of Beijing; the Yunyang Marquis Mansion is the great power of the city guards; and what about the Shu Wangfu? In addition to manpower, is there also property?

King Ninghua is very generous, is he so rich? Although the three of them took a lot of things from the original Jin Palace, no matter how much they have, they are limited. At the beginning, the Jin Wangfu was sealed by the imperial court, and when the King of Jin was alive, their mother and son were suppressed by the concubine, even if they were favored, it was impossible to accumulate a lot of money, and it would be good to get more rewards. When the princess of Jin lost power, the palace was also copied. Ninghua is not a very rich place, how much property can the king of Ninghua loot? I'm afraid that a lot of money in his hands comes from Shudi, right?

Also, on the day of the palace banquet, the small county lord of the Shu Wangfu fell and was injured, and it happened that Concubine Hui was also present, did his family still participate in the activities of King Ninghua and the Wang family girl in the palace?

Zhao Mo stood at the table, looking at what Qin Hanzhen had written, and gradually formed a table, which became more and more intuitive. His expression became solemn, and he muttered: "I want to persuade the prince to beware of Concubine Hui......"

Qin Hanzhen looked up at him unexpectedly, not understanding what he was talking about the Shu Wangfu and the Ninghua King, and suddenly jumped on Concubine Hui?

Zhao Mo shook his head: "It is said that she has been staying in her house and praying for the blessing of the little county lord." Except for an occasional trip to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, she almost stayed at home. ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and said, "The little county lord of the Shu Wangfu is too young, and she was seriously injured this time, if she is hiding a traitor, I guess no one will believe it." "Unless it's reborn or worn, a three-year-old isn't that rebellious," but there must be something wrong with the people around her, and it's best to look it up. Although I don't know what the conspiracy of the Wang family and Concubine Hui is, in order to cover up their crimes, it is too much to even let go of such a young child. If the little county lord really becomes lame, how will she live in this life?"

Zhao Mo sighed: "No matter how injured the little county lord is, she will be sad in her life." ”

Qin Hanzhen remembered that the prince of Shu was in captivity, and the little county lord was still able to enter Cining Palace and live a happy life for a few days by virtue of his physical illness. If she is safe and healthy, she may have to go back to the Zongren Mansion to be confined. Thinking about it like this, it seems that if she can't stand it, she can't have a good life in this life, unless there is a day when the salted fish turns over in the Shu Wangfu.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but sigh: "Anyway, her injury must be very painful." How old is she? She sighed and shook her head, and said to Zhao Mo, "On Concubine Hui's side, her family may be a key. ”

Zhao Mo nodded: "I have already sent someone to visit the Guan family's hometown." The housekeeper has been in decline in recent years, but there are still children who are officials outside, and life is still passing. Concubine Hui's original surname is Lu, and her family was released that year, but because the first emperor and Empress Hui had an appointment with Concubine Hui, the housekeeper still keeps the Lu family. Nominally, they are good, but in fact they are still the housekeeper's first-class stewards, and they are currently running a shop for the housekeeper, although they are not rich and expensive, but they are not worried about food and clothing. But when my people went to look at the shop, they found that it was a locally hired couple who were running the shop, saying that the Lu family had gone to the capital to visit relatives a few years ago, and that his family's mother in the palace had specially sent someone to pick them up. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "This is not true, is it?"

Zhao Mo sneered: "The head of the housekeeper doesn't know anything about this, and the matter was handled by Uncle Hao through his cousin in the housekeeper." Where does Concubine Hui have people outside the palace? There has been no movement for decades, and the Lu family is living well under the protection of the housekeeper, so what is she doing when she sends someone to pick them up?"

Qin Hanzhen frowned and said, "Those people are holding the Lu family because they want to threaten Concubine Hui to do things for them, right? If we can find out where the Lu family is, we may be able to persuade Concubine Hui to tell the truth." ”

Zhao Mo nodded: "I have already sent someone to look for it." Now there is no movement in the palace for Concubine Hui. The crown princess is secretly doing tricks, slowly replacing the people in her palace, inserting eyes and ears, and always finding out what she wants to do. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "Cousin Zhao has found out so much news in such a short period of time, it's really not easy. You've worked hard. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned and said with a smile: "It's nothing, although I'm busy, but if I can find useful clues, it's not in vain." ”

Qin Hanzhen asked him: "Have you encountered any difficulties? Is there a place where I can help? Although it is inconvenient for me to go out, and I don't have any manpower to send, I also have my advantages." For example, this time it is the birthday banquet of the General of Zhuguo's mansion, haven't I heard a lot of news? In a few days, I will go to the spring banquet of Marquis Cai's house in Yunyang, and maybe I will be able to gain something again. ”

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Cousin doesn't have to worry about it, if you can meet a clue by chance, it will naturally be great, but you don't have to force it." My cousin doesn't need to take risks secretly in order to find out the so-called news. If something happens to you, how can I bear it?"

He is also caring, but Qin Han really doesn't want to be lazy: "I just want to help do something......"

Zhao Mo smiled: "This is also easy to do, just like the table that my cousin drew now, it is intuitive and practical." When I find any trivial clues, I ask my cousin to draw a table and analyze it like this, and see if I can deduce more traces of spiders, maybe it can help a lot. ”

What's there to say about such a trifle? She can draw it at her fingertips. She wanted to be more helpful, and she proposed, "Why don't you tell my grandfather the truth?" Over there in Zhenxi Hou Mansion, it is inconvenient for you to come forward, we should have a way to find out the news. ”

Zhao Mo's eyes were blank, and he smiled dryly: "This is not very good, if my uncle and grandfather know that I am bothering my cousin with these messy things, he will definitely think that I am messing around." Without waiting for Qin Hanzhen to say anything more, he talked about it left and right, "If Li Zi is in the capital, I may have to borrow him." But since he is still in Lingnan, I don't have to do much. My cousin doesn't have to worry about me, but when she goes out on her own, she has to bring two more people with her. The carriage broke twice in quick succession, as before, and should not happen again. ”

Qin Hanzhen flattened his mouth and responded a little unwillingly.

At this time, the mother-in-law who had come before entered the courtyard again: "The prince of the county, the third girl, the Hou Ye and his wife are passing the meal, let the little one come and invite the two." ”

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo glanced at each other. Zhao Mo said softly, "Then let's go over first, shall we?"

Qin Hanzhen whispered.
